Hosts Dan Pashman and Laurie March reveal to viewers the tricks of the trade in the Cooking Channel’s new original web series, Good To Know. His segments range from: Last Minute Party Show, Olive Oil Hacks, How To Make Fun Dough, Turn Leftover Chinese Food Into Italian and more!

One of the most helpful Good To Know videos is 5 Ways to Save a Ruined Recipe. In two minutes this video gives the viewers quick tips on what to do the recipe is too sweet, the bread is too stale, the chicken soup is too salty, the chili is too spicy, or the soup is burnt.

Here are the tips to save your ruined recipe:

1. Too sweet? Add salt or red wine.

2. Is your loaf of bread too stale? Wrap the loaf of bread into a damp paper towel to add moisture. Then bake it for 5 or 10 minutes on 350 degrees.

3. Is your chicken soup too salty? Add raw potatoes to absorb the sodium and then remove them. You can use the potatoes for your next batch of mashed potatoes.

4. Is your chili too spicy? Add sour cream.

5. Did you scorch your soup? Remove the pot from the stove and submerge the entire pot into cold water. Then, separate the burned bottom from the good top by scooping the good part of the soup into a separate pot. Do not stir!
